Hydride, any of a class of chemical compounds in which hydrogen is combined with another element. Three basic types of hydrides—saline (ionic), metallic, and covalent—may be distinguished on the basis of type of chemical bond involved. A fourth type of hydride, dimeric (polymeric) hydride, may also be identified on the basis of structure (see borane). Aluminum and, possibly, copper and beryllium hydrides are nonconductors that exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms. All are thermally unstable, and some explode on contact with air or moisture.
